Canon EOS Rebel XTi | Chasing Classic Cameras with Chris

I needed to take some test shots with my new to me Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi so I did a little walkabout in my front yard. Nothing more than snapshots but my goal was to test the autofocus and various modes on the camera. The Rebel XTi is a 10.1-megapixel from around 2008. I purchased it from the original owner who lives locally and knows I collect cameras.

A bit underexposed but my goal was to test the macro mode and close autofocus.

A nice clean and well-maintained Canon kit. The lens and camera work well together and it’s quick to lock on to the proper focus without a bunch of hunting around.

At least the AF locked on to the central subject (I think this is a butterfly bush).

Yep, that sign! My go-to focus test shot. That sign was erected in front of my home about 27 years ago when my daughter was small and she and her friends would make the driveway their playground.

I like rocks. The big one on the right came from a stream in Otto, North Carolina.

Ground-level transformer right along my property line.

Veteran’s Day and my across-the-street neighbor put out his flag.

2014 Toyota RAV4 with just under 50K miles on it. It needs to be washed (and that driveway needs to be replaced).

Canon made an easy-to-use compact DSLR and put together a nice combo along the way.

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day and weekend! – Chris

A couple of 10.1 megapixel cameras from Canon. On the left the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi and on the right the Canon EOS 40D.

Collecting digital cameras from the mid to late 2000s can be a fun activity as these cameras are being replaced by modern mirrorless digital cameras. I would consider the Rebel as an entry level DSLR and the 40D as a true almost pro-level DSLR. The good news is that these cameras use the common Canon EF lenses.

Do you have a favorite digital camera from the 2000s? Are these worthy enough to be called modern classics? Let us know in comments section. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
